I got caught in a rainstorm on the way back from a friend’s house. Noah and I ran to the car together, leaping over the river that sprang up in the street, laughing like crazy. I love spring weather; it’s so exciting!
I’m having trouble with my book proposal idea. The great thing about having to write a book proposal is that it forces you to start planning your book. So I have this idea for a book — and it’s a good idea, really, ask my writing group — but when I started thinking about the proposal I realized that I haven’t figured out the presentation. I want it to be a cross between a memoir and a support book. I need to find a decent example of this so that I can get a better idea of what I want to do. The topic is a difficult one for me, too, so that makes it hard. But good.
Noah seems to have grown up all of a sudden and I have to stop and admire my lovely little boy several times throughout the day. He’s so smart and funny and very, very handsome. He’s also indefatigable, obstinate, and tenacious (I don’t know where that comes from, I’m the most docile gal I know) which are traits I admire even as I want to stamp my feet and scream in frustration. Life with him is so interesting!
By the way, be sure to stop by Ayun Halliday’s web site to congratulate her family on her husband’s Tony win for Urinetown! The Big Rumpus is doing absolutely swell, too. Honestly, if I wasn’t such a lovely person, I would be beside myself with jealousy. [insert annoying little winkie smiley face here]
